Good morning! Would you like to make a hedgehog that looks like this?

Well, not exactly. He’ll look like the one below, made with the Painted Harvest stamp set, a carry-over into the 2019-2020 catalog. The originator of turning a flower into a hedgehog is unknown, so please tell me, if you know. I am the creator of this hedgehog’s habitat, and making him an “O” in “YOU.”

I wanted to make a hedgehog card, because of the challenge at Fusion.

To make the hedgehog, I stamped the larger “flower” from Painted Harvest in Soft Suede, the smaller “flower” in Crumb Cake, and his face in Sahara Sand. Then, I fussy cut him with Paper Snips, and punched out his eyes and nose from Basic Black card stock.

TIP: The spacing of these three little dots makes a big difference.

The hand-held 1/16″ punch I used is in the Clearance Rack now, #134363.

I built his habitat with grass from the Basket Builder die set (retired) and variegated, green, Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper (new in the 2019-2020 catalog). The same DSP was used for the letters, “Y” and “U,” which are from the retiring Large Letters die set.

The hedgehog was making me smile, so I found the sentiment in the Well Said stamp set, stamped it in Tuxedo Black ink, and used a Stitched Rectangle die for cutting.

The Whisper White background was cut with the largest Stitched Rectangle die, and glued to a Thick WW card base, after tying Linen Thread around it. I left the top of the grass free, so the hedgehog could peek through it.

I hope my hedgehog card made you smile. They really are cute, little, creatures! The Painted Harvest stamp set has many more options, and you can check it out in my Product List. 

Here is a card I created with a flower, rather than a hedgehog.
